We love diesel. Not just medium duty trucks, that's why we brought in Ben Evers of Farm Focused and Calibrated Power to discuss Spring planting and custom tuning for ag equipment! Ben breaks down how tight planting windows, long days, and heavy workloads push tractors and equipment to their limits, and where factory calibrations often leave performance on the table. We get into how custom tuning can improve throttle response, usable power, and fuel efficiency, helping farmers cover more ground without adding unnecessary stress to their machines. We also touch on some of the misconceptions around tuning in the agriculture space, how it differs from the diesel truck world, and why more farmers are starting to look at performance solutions as a tool, not a risk. If you've ever wondered how diesel performance translates outside of pickups and into the field, this episode gives you a real-world look at how tuning is helping keep farms running efficiently when it matters most.

We often get asked what new buyers should look out for when purchasing a used 2011-2016 LML or 2017 or newer L5P Duramax. The boys decided to discuss what red flags to pay attention to, what is an instant purchase, and more tips. The boys also discussed the new L5P Y-Bridge that WCFab just launched. Tons of info on this product and it's wild. Check it out!
We got back from the WCFab Open House and saw so many badass high horsepower trucks throwing down huge numbers on the dyno that it got all three of us thinking; do I really need 1,000 horsepower? The boys discuss the fun of it, what it takes to get there, and the practicality of a diesel truck that powerful. See what Anthony and Chris had to say here!
Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo? The boys figured why not bring Nick Priegnitz, Stealth Turbos creator, back on to discuss this topic. We tackle the value of each setup, what works for certain driving styles, and a ton more. Class is in session on turbos!
We have a mid-week bonus episode! The boys wanted to get Nick Priegnitz, founder of Calibrated Power/Duramaxtuner, into the podcast to discuss what he and they think of the initial numbers and news on the 8.3L Duramax L6P "Mongoose." They chat about the insanity of the new displacement, what Nick expects to see out of the aftermarket industry, and a hot take on what Nick sees as a miss by the engineers over at GM. There's a ton to talk about on this one. Listen in and give us some of your thoughts on our social channels! What do YOU think about the new 8.3L Duramax?
Anthony and Chris got an episode that will get diesel enthusiasts talking. Which modifications are overrated or underrated? The boys discuss, argue, and debate how they feel about certain mods such as box tuners, intakes, rail plugs, lift pumps, and more! Drop us a comment and let us know how you feel about certain mods for diesel trucks!
